Commercial Description:
So simple in its creation, so magnificent in its maturity, this wonderful ale begins with Nature's most humble offerings, water, malted grains and hops. Our soulful yeast breathes life and depth into each brew. The steady hand of time orchestrates this alchemy into the splendid ale before you. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours bright orange amber with an off white head. The aroma is spicy and yeasty with some fruity banana. The flavor has some nice fruity esters, with nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices, and warms as it goes down. Nice. although I expected from the V-12 for this to be along the lines of an Abt/Quad, but it’s not. Still good though.

Bottle from RSVP. V12 reminds me of the belgian quads i’ve had previously. Pours orange with a white bubbly head. Spicy flavors of corriander, cinnamon, and pepper.

Notes from a tasting a couple months back. Pours a sort of cloudy blonde. Aroma of floaral hops and faint alcohol, mild sugary sweetness. Flavor is more exciting, Generally spicy with cinnamon notes. This is lightly sweet with a decent hop balance. Mouthfeel is silky with a minimal alcohol flavor.

Bottled in APR 07. Pours a clear amber. Off-white head quickly dissipates leaving a bit of lace around the outside of the glass. Big fruity aroma. Dark fruit and spice in the mouth. The alcohol makes its presence known but is not unpleasant.

Dark amber color with a big off white head. Very fruity and spicy aroma. Flavor is hugely complex with lots of fruit, spice, and a hint of hops. Lingering finish. Great stuff.

Smells like apple cider on a hot summer day. Tastes like a mix of that cider, and the smell from a mountain pass in the middle of summer. A perfect themed Belgian Ale

Medium brown orange color with a white head. Citrus aroma, caramel, and some yeast. Medium body with alot going on. Alcohol is very present and lends alot of heat to the beer. Want to age some to see what happens.
